Change PictureBox image to images from application folder

Question

I want PictureBox to load images from application folder. In the code below it loads picture from exact place. I want it to load images from application's folder so that if I copy it to other computers it could load images.

How can I do it?

Loads from exact place:

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("D:\68.jpg");

I want it to be like this:

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("ApplicationFolder\68.jpg");

Answer 1

Using the info in the comment above, you could do:

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(System.IO.Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "68.jpg"))

To do use a subdirectory of the assembly base directory:

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(System.IO.Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "SomeFolderInBaseDirectory", "68.jpg"))

Use to keep images in application resources:

Add PictureBox control on Form. Select the control on the form and use properties. Find Image under the Appearance section in Properties tab and click on [...]. Select Resource dialog imports all images you're going to use in your application. Then remove the PictureBox from the Form. The application keeps all images in resources
